Jon’s appearance is the representation that Jon lost parts of his humanity (Also, he is blind.).
MOREEE
This is such a cool design but it gave us a Sad Idea
Imagine if Martin doesn’t tell him his appearance has changed because he worries that Jon would be upset if he knew he still had visible signs of his experiences, and having to make up excuses for why Jon should wear gloves or long sleeves, but there’s only so many times he can say “it’s cold out” before Jon asks what’s really going on
…oh fuck, now I have to make a whole comic about this.
So…. I created an au in which Tim and Sasha survived their respective deaths, but with big consequences.
They turnerd into fears avatars.
Tim became part of desolation after the circus explosion.
He ended up in coma for 4 months, bc at first he refused to be one of the monsters who killed his brother.
But he stayed for Sasha.
Unlike Jon, his body suffered many more damage, doctors said he would definitely die from his wounds, but he didn’t.
An extra detail that I would like to add, is that after waking up, someone (Anabelle) sends to him a prosthetic mask, which was clearly inspired by the circus.
Tim set it on fire.
I will publish the design and history of Sasha later, (which gives more context to Tim’s history)
(Also,many of his wounds are recovering little by little, thanks to his regeneration and surgeries.)
Sasha also survived by transforming into an avatar, an End avatar.
But with strong marks of the Spiral.
bc she was kidnapped by Michael right before Not!Them killed her
Although Not!Them took Sasha’s life for months.
All those months, Sasha was lost among Michael’s corridors, during that time she accepted her “death” and the fact that she no longer existed to anyone in the world.
(Michael, in the form of riddles and jokes, revealed what Not!Them had done)
Her acceptance gave way for The End to join her, preventing the Spiral from affecting more of her, but transforming her into an End avatar in the process.
She was rescued by Tim and Martin during the ending of MAG S2, but neither of them recognized her.
Then, she left the institute (her spiral marks broke the Eye ones, not even Elias knew that she returned) and began to investigate everything related to fears by herself, shortly after, she descovers the reality of the institute, and what it means to be the archivist. (or at least a part of it)
At the beginning of season 3, Melanie finds photos of the real Sasha and shows them to Tim.
in that moment, Tim and Martin realized she is the woman they saved from the Spiral’s corridors.
They tried to look for her, but they couldn’t.
On the other side, Sasha was looking for Jon.
She found Jon while Daisy was chasing after him. (MAG 91)
Jon KNOWS she was the Real Sasha just by seeing her (even though he doesn’t remember her)
And they all meet again when they go to face Elías.
(the key she has was given to her by Michael, a few weeks after leaving the corridors, as a “prize for surviving the spiral without going completely crazy”, with this Sasha can open doors that can take her anywhere she wants, That’s how she found Jon, although they can be tricky ;)
Extra:
(I’m going to post Jon and Martin’s designs, although they’re not very different from “"canon”“)
